Securities & Financial Law Certificate

There's no better place to study securities and financial regulation than Georgetown Law. Our campus is within walking distance of the SEC, the Federal Courts, and the Capitol. We are a short Metro ride to the other Federal regulatory agencies and the nation’s best law firms. Our faculty are experts in their fields and work at major firms or financial regulatory agencies.

The Certificate in Securities & Financial Law provides experienced lawyers with the opportunity to focus on securities and financial law, and it offers lawyers who are just starting their careers a window into this dynamic area of law. Students earn ten credits selected from the Securities & Financial Law curriculum.

For foreign-trained lawyers, the Certificate in Securities & Financial Law allows students to have a concentration in this area of law, within either the General LL.M. or the International Business & Economic Law LL.M., and also gain exposure to U.S. law and/or business law more broadly.

For 2018 -2019, the following classes count toward the requirements for the Securities & Financial Law Certificate. Ten credits are required to earn the Certificate. Foreign-trained lawyers must take Securities Regulation as part of the 10 credits to earn the Certificate. U.S.-educated students who have not yet taken Securities Regulation as part of their J.D. degree must take it prior to or simultaneously with their first Certificate classes, but it will not count toward the total of 10 credits needed for the Certificate.
